LISP Compilers

What is the best LISP compiler for windows.

I hear Silph Co. is working on one that runs on Pokedexes.

I don't know what LISP means or what's your definition of ``best''.

If you're looking for Common Lisp implementations that run on Windows, there are quite a few:
SBCL - compiled, reasonably stable, some minor issues, win32 port still experimental, but certainly usable, good, but not the fastest compiler, based on CMUCL. Written in Lisp, with bits of C for OS-specific runtime and GC. Public domain or no clause BSD/MID-like, depending on which you like.
ClozureCL - compiled, pretty good support, latest verrsion is stable, good multithreading support, fast compiler, but not the fastest generated code. Written in Lisp, with bits of C for OS-specific runtime and GC. LLGPL (LGPL with static linking).
CLISP - bytecode-based, interpreted and JITted. Considerably slower than SBCL and CCL, but still decent. Written mostly in C, Lisp libraries. GPL.
Embeddable Common Lisp - compiles to C, which compiles to native code. Portable, probably smallest of them all (SBCL and CCL both have large runtimes), even smaller than CLISP. LGPL.
AllegroCL - native and interpreted. Reasonable quality, support for nice Windows GUI libraries and some other fancy stuff that you expect with commercial implementations. Commercial license.
LispWorks - similar to AllegoCL, but with some differences. Both have demo or trial versions.
ABCL - Common Lisp on the JVM. Free.
XCL - Relatively new CL implementation, SEPPLES + Lisp based. Aims to achieve SBCL's performance, but I've never tested it. It's still far too early to be using it for real development, unlikely most other CL implementations, I don't think all ANSI compliance tests pass yet. Free.
Corman CL - Win32-only implementation, good threading support, reasonably fast. I haven't tested it out. Comes with full source, but commercial. Development might have stopped or is inactive.

There's also some other implementations, but they're either not very good on Windows, or *nix (or even LispOS)-only, or are dead or incomplete. Look at http://www.cliki.net/Common%20Lisp%20implementation if you want a better list.

If you mean LISP in general, there are hundreds of Scheme implementations, most toy implementations, but some serious good ones. There's also other Lisps besides Scheme and CL, and if you want to use those, just google for them and find implementations for them (I expect considerably less than Scheme or CL as most don't have standard/specification documents, or are the product of a single author).

I asked Lain, and she says she only boots into Windows to draw pictures of bunnies and play TF2.

>>4
What a coincidence! Same here, however, I do not draw pictures of bunnies, nor do I play TF2.

>>4
I draw my pictures of bunnies using the GIMP on Linux ;_;

>>6
Post them here.

>>6,7
Convert them to AA first, please.
